Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.

As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.

Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.

My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor, my mom, she has such great faith.

My faith is the reason I run - it calms my heart and makes everything feel like a lift. My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it.
